Heating by electricity. — In electric cars, the current generated by the motors in the local braking - circuit can be employed for heating purposes. Fig. 7 shows three bjxes or casings, in each of which are arranged three coils 49, 50, 51 of different diameters connected in series. The 5108. Kaacke, A.

The position o f the valve 16 is regulated by that o f a leaky piston 24, which is arranged in the water chamber 19 so that water can leak past it. This chamber has a connection 18 with the water-supply pipe, and a tube 18l allows the water to pass from the chamber round the coils 20 of the heater to the hot-water tap 21. The valve 16 and piston 24 are rigidly connected by a rod which passes through a flexible diaphragm 25. Opening a hot- water tap 21 relieves the pressure on one side of the piston 24, and the pressure o f the water on the other side forces back the piston and the valve 16, Heating by electricity .— Metal is welded, or heated and so opens ihe gas supply.
